Here's When 'Avengers: Endgame' Will Hit Disney+

However, on Wednesday, Disney revealed an updated release schedule going up to 2027, and three new Star Wars movies are listed.

Disney announced on Tuesday that it is producing three more "Star Wars" films that will hit theaters starting in 2022.

"Star Wars" and "Avatar" make up two of the biggest blockbuster brands in Hollywood history. "We've announced two or three new dates (for films), but we haven't said what they are", Iger said.

The leap came despite a hit "Captain Marvel" film not matching the dizzying success of a "Black Panther" superhero movie release in the same period past year.

A year ago, director Cameron told reporters he had begun filming on the second and third "Avatar" movies and had written the fourth and fifth films in the series. There's absolutely zero mention of the other Fox-produced Marvel Comics films that were in development - Deadpool 3, X-Force, Gambit, Doctor Doom - and you would have to assume that they're no longer on the cards.

The Taliban said they would continue their attacks during Ramadan, but would be "very careful of civilians during any operation". Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid called the group a US network involved in "harmful Western activities" in Afghanistan .

But with that news comes pushback on those Avatar sequels that no one wants, which were also given release dates, and Twitter has been a mix of "Wow so much Star Wars!".

In advance of the quarterly check-in, the Walt Disney Company also released its first earnings report since wrapping up its mammoth $71.3 billion deal to buy the majority of 21st Century Fox's film and television assets.

As for Star Wars, Rian Johnson, who directed the Episode VIII The Last Jedi, has been developing a new trilogy, as have Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss.

A few other fun nuggets from the release: Emma Stone's Cruella got a December 2020 release date; the graphic novel/web comic Nimona is getting a feature film in 2021; and the next Indiana Jones movie comes out in July 2021, when Harrison Ford will be almost 80 years old. As a result, Disney's stock went up 2% in after-hours trading. "Avatar 5" will hit theaters in 2027, according to the Deseret News.

Speaking of which: Marvel is developing several original TV shows for the streaming service, and many of them will recruit the live-action film actors to appear in their own shows like Falcon and Winter Soldier, Loki, and WandaVision.
